General - A cottage of immense character in an idyllic location which started life as a Victorian brew house. The cottage briefly comprises on the ground floor of a clever open plan layout which includes a sitting room, dining room and kitchen which share a double sided wood burning stove. There is also a conservatory with ECO friendly glass. On the first floor, there are two bedrooms and shower room. The second floor is taken up by a large master bedroom which is full of character with an exposed chimney breast running through the centre and a variety of exposed roof trusses. The owner has recently acquired two acres of adjoining land which very much adds to the property.
Location - Acresford is a hamlet in the National Forest. There is a lovely woodland walk from the hamlet to Hoborough Brook. . The hamlet close to the M42 and within easy reach of both Tamworth (10 miles) and Birmingham (26 miles), and the market towns of Ashby-de-la-Zouch (5 miles) and Market Bosworth (12 miles) are close by.
The Cottage - The accommodation is arranged over three floors as follows. Front door with a leaded light opening into the entrance porch.
Entrance Porch - With timber style floor and door to conservatory.
Conservatory - 3.45m x 3.05m (11'4" x 10') - A delightful room from which to enjoy the garden, there is an oak style floor and French doors opening onto the garden. The glass is ECO friendly and very effective in maintaining a reasonable temperature in the house without heating up in summer or allowing the heat out in winter. Archway to the breakfast kitchen. Door to cloakroom.
Cloakroom - With low flush lavatory, wash hand basin.
Breakfast Kitchen - 5.33m x 3.38m (17'6" x 11'1") - The kitchen area is fitted with a comprehensive range of cream base and wall units with an oven with four ring hob, oven and grill with extractor in canopy over. There is a porcelain sink, tiled splashbacks and breakfast bar. The focal point of the kitchen is the double sided multi fuel wood burning stove shared with the adjoining sitting room.
Sitting Room - 3.96m x 2.46m (13' x 8'1") - With wood burning stove, a timber style floor, central heating radiator and understairs storage cupboard. Door to an inner hall and stairs rising to first floor.

Master Bedroom - 5.79m x 5.61m (19' x 18'5") - A quite magnificent room which is full of character. There is a bank of part mirrored wardrobes.Iit should be noted that a chimney runs through the centre of the room and there are some exposed roof trusses which do restrict the roof height. (second measurement 17'1" measured to 5' eaves height).
En-Suite - Suite comprising a bath with shower over, low flush lavatory, wash hand basin, tiled finish to floor.
The Garden - The garden is principally lawned with a patio adjoining the cottage. A cabin (11'6" x11'6") currently used as an artists studio is included in the sale. The cabin has insulated walls and double doors. Behind the cabin is a further storage shed.
Outside - A shared drive leads to a block paved parking area,which belongs to the cottage and has space for approximately 3 cars. Adjoining the parking area there are two SHEDS one of which has plumbing for a washing machine. Steps rise from the parking area to a raised terrace where there is a small SUMMER HOUSE, and a further flight of steps rises to the paddock.
The Paddock - The paddock lies to the East of the cottage. It has been left as a natural wildlife habitat and a retreat for the owner from the hustle and bustle of modern life. There are various vantage points from which the fabulous views can enjoyed and no doubt the land could be cultivated and turned into grass land.
